GET TO KNOW ME BETTER

Guy Walker

Guy has always been ambitious and despite not following his childhood dream of becoming a racing car driver; his career has been fast and exhilarating.

From starting his first business at just 15 selling computer products, to founding Dovetail & Slate which has grown from success to success. Like his hero Nigel Walker, Guy comes without an ego and puts huge emphasis upon valuing and nurturing his team so they can become the very best to deliver incomparable results for clients and candidates. 

Guy recruits across all disciplines within our specialist industries, construction and education, where he has over five years of sector-specific experience. Maintaining a hands-on approach at candidate level gives Guy a clear perspective of the current state of both industries from the angle of clients and candidates.

ACHIEVEMENTS & EXPERIENCE

"I motivate myself by picturing exactly what I want from life and work towards it daily."

Owner of 7 companies

I own 7 companies in various sectors, it gives me a unqiue perspective to benefit other businesses, I've been through the challenge not just once - but 7 times!

Three invested

As a investor who is new to the sector, I take a pragmatic view to things, endeavouring to listen first and offer advise only where prudent. I take every investment seriously and will hear anyone out.

First company at age 15

Age doesn't equal success, and through dedication, I set my sight to transform my overlooked ideas into thriving businesses. I am open to talking to anyone, no matter who you are.

Misconceptions Of The Furlough Scheme

I wanted to share some information with everyone on the misconceptions behind the furlough scheme, and how in an ideal world it would not be a cost to the employer, but actually is not the case.

TESTIMONIALS

Louise Billington
Without Guy, his companies, and rapid resourcing of testing staff, we’re not sure we would have opened as planned.
Elise Lamberton
We have hired over 30 staff with Guy over the last 3 years, always with resounding success & clear communication!
